Sponsorship and health issues

[Delicateone63]

Hi All,
Just looking for some guidance. My best friend will be getting married shortly with the intention of sponsoring her new husband who is currently living in Jamaica. The problem is that he has Epilepsy, which is being controlled by medication, but she is concerned that the Canadian immigration will reject his application based on his condition.

I was hoping someone may have encountered a similar situation and might have some insight into what procedures or information she would have to provide CI to process his application to a positive ending......or is she living a pipe dream thinking that CI will let her and her fiance ride off into the Canadian sunset...such as it is....

Looking forward to your comments!!!

Thanks so much!!

Spouses are exempt from the excessive medical demand clause, so there shouldn't be any issues with sponsoring him. The only time a spouse can be rejected or have problems due to medical issues, is when they have something that is contagious and could be considered a risk to the Canadian public (such as tuberculosis).
